[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, I'll start.

I had
Breakfast
A poppy bagel with tomatoes and light cream cheese (it's a big bagel- I'd say 2 servings)

Mid Morning Snack:
1/2 cup of mixed berries
coffee with 1/2 and 1/2
a small (SMALL!) pastry with chocolate- like bite sized

Lunch-
Arby's junior roast beef sandwich
Small salad with dressing on the side

Mid Afternoon Snack-
Small Diary Queen Cone

Dinner-
1/2 Italian Cold Cut (But it's a big sub, so 1/2 is still 6 inches)
A few sips of ginger ale

Dessert- 
A brownie

So- in looking over my choices, I noticed I "treated" myself 3 times today (pastry, dairy queen and a brownie) AND I had a huge amount of salt- and I gave up by dinner.

I did get 3 servings of fruit/vegetables in- but still.

And yes, I am fat :(

So- for other fatties out there, make me feel better and let me know I'm not alone. I suck at willpower, I don't get people who say "just eat less." At least I know myself enough to know not to drink, because I obviously have a personality that's prone to addiction.

For all you skinnies  out there (or people who are less than my size 16 self) please motivate me! Tell me yummy things you eat that satisfy you~

Thanks :)

FOr fun, I decided to take your menu for today and make it lighter and healthier with a few substitutions:

Breakfast - a light english muffin or bagel thin (preferably whole wheat) with TBS light cream cheese and tomato

Mid-Morning Snack - substitute fat free milk or half & half in coffee; go with a square of dark chocolate in lieu of the pastry (even if tiny)

Lunch - substitute a leaner meat like turkey, roasted or grilled chicken instead of RB. Skip the bread and get the meat on a salad, or go with whole grain breads if possible.

Afternoon snack - go with frozen fat free yogurt. Better yet, go with fruit or light yogurt (like Dannon lite and fit)

Dinner - see suggestions for lunch. Stay away from italian cold cuts. Veggies, turkey, poultry (skinless) are all better choices.

Dessert - fudgesicle (fat free), fruit

And yes, I'm 10% overweight (dislike the word "fat") and don't always eat right even when I know what I should be eating.  : )
